“I’m an orphan now, and I know that,” said Wynonna. “I also have a sister I’m getting close to more so than ever. That’s a remarkable thing to have someone in your life that you’re so different from, but that you can meet somewhere in the middle, and it works.”

I’m ready to feel the good stuff,” she added. “I’m going to walk out on that stage like I know what I’m doing. [The crowd is] going to buy it, or at least some of them will. I’m excited about that.”
